That Damn Hospital

As he approached the dilapidated hospital, the boy couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The once-grand building now stood as a haunting reminder of its former glory. The windows were shattered, the walls covered in graffiti, and the front doors creaked ominously in the wind. Despite the warning signs, the boy's curiosity and desire for the promised reward pushed him forward.
Stepping inside, the boy was immediately hit with a musty smell and a sense of foreboding. The dimly lit corridors were lined with abandoned hospital beds, rusted medical equipment, and tattered curtains. Each step echoed loudly, making the boy jump at every sound. But he couldn't turn back now, not when the prize was within his grasp.
As he ventured deeper into the hospital, the boy's heart raced with a mix of adrenaline and fear. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched, but he pushed on, determined to complete his mission and claim his reward. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from one of the rooms. With a shaky hand, he pushed the door open and found himself face to face with a group of his peers.
Relieved and slightly disappointed that his adventure wasn't as dangerous as he thought, the boy was about to leave when he noticed something peculiar. On the wall, written in bold letters, was the phrase "only 1 single time". Confused, the boy turned to his friends for an explanation. They revealed that this was all part of a social experiment - to see how far someone would go for money.
Feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief, the boy left the abandoned hospital, $50 richer but also wiser. He realized that sometimes, the thrill of the unknown and the lure of easy money can cloud one's judgment. As he walked away, he made a promise to himself to never let his curiosity and greed get the best of him again. After all, some things are worth more than a quick buck.
